Every year the Ellis Island Medal of Honor Society, created by NECO, recognizes 140 remarkable Americans in an evening designed to celebrate the immigrant experience.

Celebrities such as Henry Kissinger, Walter Cronkite, Muhammad Ali, and Hillary Clinton have been among the award recipients. And when the situation calls for a 100 x 120 foot tent, plus coordinating a military parade, things had better work. Last year was our 16th straight year producing and staging the event.
